Insider Monkey Score: 15

Brooklyn Brewery uses a special fermentation method that develops the flavors, aromas, and character of beer with none of the alcohol, and a generous dry hopping resulting in lively hop notes and a clean finish. 

The Tokyo-based Kirin Holdings acquired a roughly 25% minority stake in Brooklyn Brewery in 2016. The brewery boasted sales volume of 276,729 barrels in 2022.
